Of the three 85mm M42 lenses that Pentax made with automatic aperture functions, the value increases from 85mm F1.9 Super-Takumar, to 85mm F1.9 Super-Multi-Coated Takumar ( which is exactly the same as the ST version but with SMC coatings - there is on aperture cam like most SMCT lenses), and finally the 85mm F1.8 Super multicoated Takumar which is a totally improved 6 element optical design as well as having the usual SMCT aperture cam added. In NM condtion, I would estimate them to be worth approx $175,$225, and $325 on today's world secondary lens market. jco
